Shoreline has firmed up nicely and with co;d temps accesses should be safe. DNR access and Lakeside access remain closed.

Ice conditions
All accesses should be considered poor. DNR access is closed as two pickups went down. I saw a car go through the ice on Lakeside access. I would suggest atv and small houses would be fine.
